Data Retention Policy
Your privacy is important to us. Our app is designed with a strong commitment to protecting your personal information. Live Earth Globe & Tools Studio does not collect or retain any personal, sensitive, or usage data on its own servers or in any databases. Here is how we handle data:
- No Long-Term Data Storage: Any data used during your interaction with the app is processed in real time and discarded immediately after serving its purpose. We do not store this data on our servers or in the cloud.
- No Accounts or Logins Required: You do not need to create an account or log in to use the app. We do not collect or store usernames, passwords, or any personally identifiable information.
- Temporary Permissions Only: Some features may request access to certain permissions to function properly. All data is processed locally on your device and is never transmitted to or stored by us.
- No Backups or Logs: We do not keep backup copies, logs, or analytics that include any personal information. Since no data is retained, there is no need for deletion requests — nothing is stored beyond your active session.
Third-party services such as Google AdMob, Firebase Analytics, and Firebase Crashlytics may retain data according to their own policies. User data processed by these services may be automatically deleted within 90 days per Google's standard data retention practices.
All data transmitted between your device and third-party services is encrypted in transit using industry-standard secure connections (HTTPS/TLS), ensuring your data is protected during transfer.
